UPPER CHICHESTER- Child endangerment charges filed against a township woman last year were dismissed in January after a witness failed to show up in court, police said.Megan Horseman was charged with child endangerment charges in November 2012 after her mother found her six-month-old baby alone in the house in a baby swing, according to police. At the time the baby was found home alone, Horseman was involved in a traffic accident in Bethel. She later received traffic citations for that accident, court documents indicate.Horseman’s mother, who allegedly found her grandchild alone in the house, was subpoenaed to appear in court as a witness, authorities said. The case was listed three times, but each time the witness failed to appear, according to authorities. After the third listing, on Jan. 23, 2013, Magisterial District Judge David Griffin dismissed the criminal charges against Horseman.

Police were called to a home in the 300 block of Johnson Avenue on Friday afternoon for a report of a child left alone. The responding officers spoke with the baby's grandmother, who said that she had left around 2:30 p.m. to run some errands. When she returned about an hour later, she found the child in the dining room in a baby swing alone.

The child's grandmother told police she had thrown her daughter's boyfriend out of her house the night before, and that Horseman, her daughter, took the baby and left with the boyfriend, according to the affidavit.

The baby's grandfather also spoke with police and said that he saw Horseman earlier that day. She was with the baby at the time and appeared to be under the influence, according to the affidavit.
